Much thanks to the dual wield design of that time, it took our right in tooking frostmourne within her true and only acceptable form.
The twin blades artifact are just a shadow of its former self, we dks deserve reclaiming the true frostmourne somehow in the future

More power to you.
Get real comfortable with that magnifying glass because Tirion shattered that thing like a faberge egg.

First, we’re going into a second expansion after Legion, so, care about artifacts right now, is totally pointless.
Second, they never intended to replace Frostmourne. This is the reason they made the Twin Blades, because Frostmourne is too important and iconic to be put in the hands of many players as an ordinary weapon.

This argument is void once you realize paladins can use the Ashbringer, the weapon that was strong enough to shatter frostmourne.

We are going to visit the smith who made many of these artifacts, including the LK armor. If ever there was a prime opportunity to justify the reformation of Frostmourn SL would be it, especially with craftable legendaries. To me, I could see taking my twin blades,which are the collected frostmourn shards, to this smith and having the option to reforge the blade, especially with 2h frost coming back.
It all lines up very nicely to be a valid option but I’m not counting on it. I’d love it to happen but I don’t know if it’s something the devs want to see in game. Who knows though they did put Ashbringer in the players hands so hopefully anything’s possible.

And it also claims the soul of the wielder, so if that’s not a problem then go for it lol.

Ashbringer is nothing compared to Frostmourne. Only playerbase knows it.
The The Lich King Arthas and the frostmourne are recognizable even for player from other games. It’s too iconic in the pop culture. They represent the biggest phase of the game. This is why Blizzard is aways careful to use anything related to Arthas. They don’t wanna tarnish his image, even now with ICC and Bolvar being important again, they already said that Arthas will appears only as references of his past.

I’m not sure we should have reforged it. Can’t imagine anyone’s going to look at a death knight wielding Frostmourne itself and feel good about that picture. 
The Twinblades were the last remnants of the sword and after Legion its power was totally drained. As a magical sword Frostmourne is entirely gone now. Unless we ask the Torghast smith to forge us a brand new one.

Yeah, not to mention that that’s not exactly a sealed room. There’s probably bits of it over half of Northrend by now.

Frostmourne has the ability to drain life from its victims — and to drain the soul of anyone whom it connects to. The Lich King is capable of seeing through the eyes and hearing through the ears of anyone who wields Frostmourne; this ability cannot be stopped by any mortal means. The Lich King can communicate with the wielder at will telepathically, on any plane and at any distance. The Lich King uses this ability to try and corrupt the wielder over time. This has several effects. An individual who wields Frostmourne will not part with it willingly. Over time the person will go from good to neutral and finally to evil. A non-undead evil wielder will then become undead. Finally the sword is able to suck the being’s soul into the sword. Frostmourne then retains the memories and skills of its victim. In fact, as long as the wielder’s original body remains within one mile of Frostmourne, the sword maintains control of the body, and he may not be completely aware that his consciousness has shifted to the weapon.
Yeah I can’t imagine why we weren’t given such a stupidly powerful weapon that canonically makes the wielder true evil. Seems totally plausible.

I think that’d be less of an issue than the “controls the wielder entirely without them even knowing” bit at the end.

Yeah the whole thing is a big red flag. Kind of obvious why they never made it obtainable.

At this point I don’t think they need to restore the magic to Frostmourne that drains your soul, just allow us to reforge it into a 2h weapon like it should be.
I wish that I would’ve gotten the unholy artifact instead even though I don’t play unholy simply because it’s a 2h weapon. Every time I see the frost artifact, I want to destroy it, because it’s an abomination that never should’ve existed.
I understand why, gameplay reasons from blizz’s mistaken concept of frost being dw only (which is in the process of being corrected by allowing us to choose to use a 2h weapon), but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with it or think of it as anything other than an abomination that never should’ve existed that needs to be destroyed or reforged into a 2h weapon.

Have you read some of the artifacts story lines? Frostmourne seems tame to weapons that conquered entire worlds, or a literal Old God in a dagger.
